7th to 14th March 2011 - Finishing off the sword model and basic texturing


Over the last two weeks I have been working on finding textures to make my sword look more realistic. I textured the sword is by using the modifier uvunwrap and chose the box option to have a basic UV. Then I used the pelt and flaten tool on the handle and hilt to make it easier to texture. I left the blade UV the same because it is a basic box shape. I decided to have a ceremonial style to my sword and therefore suched the internet for images of diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires as well as a steel texture for the blade and a gold texture for the detail on the sword. I plan to raise certain areas on the sword to make the gems look more realistic.
